About the Patriots in Business Award

The Patriots in Business Award recognizes outstanding businesses who lead our nation in supporting active duty military members, veterans and their families. The recipients of this award exemplify the values of Duty, Honor and Country, through their programs and initiatives not only for hiring those who have served but also honoring veterans and their families within their organization, through their business practices, and throughout their community and industry.

The sponsors for the Patriots in Business Award are Chief Executive Group and Thayer Leader Development Group at West Point. The Award was created by Chief Executive Group and TLDG to thank and recognize outstanding corporations who, by their example, inspire other companies to invest in our military, veterans and their families.

Chief Executive Group, the leading community for business leaders worldwide, publishes Chief Executive magazine (since 1977), chiefexecutive.net, Corporate Board Member magazine and boardmember.com. In addition, the Group hosts conferences and roundtables that enable CEOs and board members to discuss key subjects and share their experiences with their peers. The Group also runs the Chief Executive Network, the leading CEO membership organization arranged by industry, and facilitates the annual “CEO of the Year,” a prestigious honor bestowed upon an outstanding corporate leader, nominated and selected by a group of peers.www.chiefexecutive.net
